Installing solar, what happens?
Electricity generating solar panels can be fitted on any structurally sound roof,
planning permission is not required.
Permission from your council may be required if your house is listed or in a conservation area.
If permission is needed then we can provide assistance.
We'll send you a free, no obligation estimate, showing the number of panels that can be fitted,
the cost and the return on your investment.
If the estimate is of interest, we'll then conduct an on-site survey,
again, this is completely free with no obligation.
Our experienced surveyor will provide you with a full breakdown of the numbers and explain everything.
Installations on most homes can be completed in a day or two.
The panels are fitted on a track system on the roof.
We always take time and great care to ensure whatever type of roof you have it's integrity
will be unaffected and it will remain watertight.
The inverter is the size of a standard boiler, that's all the space that's needed.
It's usually fitted in your loft or garage.
Once installed, there are 3 steps to get things certified and signed off:
Step 1, as approved contractors of the Microgeneration Certification Scheme, we register your installation
to get your MCS certificate.
Step 2, an Assessor surveys the installation and issues your Energy Performance Certificate.
This survey is included in the price that we quote.
Step 3, we'll help you with the paperwork that's sent to your chosen electricity company.
We'll then give you your handover pack and talk you through that.
Every 3 months thereafter you'll be paid your income by cheque, or direct into your
bank account, whichever suits you.
Because of the way some electricity suppliers billing cycles work, it may take up to 12
months for your electricity bills to come down and reflect your true savings.
You can check your generation and usage with the digital meter we install, or on your smartphone
with the optional software.
You don't have to clean the panels, rain water does that job for you.
It's very unlikely that there will be any maintenance issues, but we can check your
installation annually for a small fee.
